While I am often referred to as the Pine Tree Painter, it could also be said that I am as much a birch tree painter. I love Birch. They are the cheerful ones you see when walking through the forest. They are the ones with the sense of humor and happiness that remind you that God is a truly creative being. Bark that is white against all the green and brown. Stands out and beckons us to continue further into the woods. Assures us that it is a comfortable place to be. They, the Birch, will keep us company. This artist loves the Birch Trees and here they are again. I hope you like them as well. Robert

This sketch above became this finished painting below

The Pine Tree Painter.

How did I become known as the Pine Tree Painter? You could say I paint a lot of Pine Trees, that would be true. I paint a lot of other things too, but Pine Trees, Spruce Trees, Birch and others seem to be a continuous string in what i do. I just like the way they stand there like a custodian of the land. or a greeter to nature. So, I continue down the path with the Pine Tree Painter name on my head, It's ok. Robert McAffee
